Description

Gluten ELISA Test kit




Gluten ELISA Test kit Intended Use
This Gluten ELISA test kit represents a highly sensitive detection system for Gliadin/Gluten in food. This Gliadin/Gluten ELISA represents a highly sensitive detection system and is particularly capable of the quantification of gliadin/gluten residues in bakery products, baby food, meat, and chocolate.




Gluten ELISA Kit Components:
• Microplate: 96 wells coated with anti-gliadin antibodies
• Gliadin Standards
• Enzyme Conjugate, anti-gliadin-Peroxidase
• Sample dilution buffer
• Substrate Solution, TMB
• Stop Solution
• Washing Solution




Method Principle
This Diagnostic Automation/ Cortez Diagnostics Inc. Food Gliadin/Gluten quantitative test is based on the principle of the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. An antibody directed against gliadin is bound on the surface of a microplate wells and gliadin containing samples or standards are added into the well. For further details please refer to complete instructions manual supplied with the product.




Background Information
Gluten is the main part of the protein fraction of cereals and consists of nearly the equal amount of the protein compounds prolamin (or gliadin, the soluble fraction of gluten) and glutenin. Because of its special physicochemical properties and its low price, gluten is not only contained in cereal products, but also in other food as sausage products and ice cream or in drugs and cosmetics as binder and filler. For some persons such as people with coeliac disease, gluten has a pathological effect. These people need to have a strict gluten free diet. In the European Union a maximum level of 20 ppm gluten is allowed for products declared as “gluten-free”, and 100 ppm gluten for products declared as “very low gluten” respectively. Sensitive detection systems are required to determine gluten residues in foodstuff. This gluten ELISA test kit represents a highly sensitive detection system and is particularly capable of the quantification of gliadin/gluten residues in bakery products, baby food, meat, and chocolate.
